Isn't it important for me to understand your heartfelt feelings first?

[aididitmyway]

No. You just need to ask her if she likes me!

[featherduster]

. . . You're not ashamed of your feelings, are you?

I hope not.

[aididitmyway]

Also no.

I'm just! Bad at feelings! Especially lately!

[and she's terrified of rejection]

[featherduster]

What will you do if her answer is yes?

[aididitmyway]

Talk to her about it.

I just—don't want to make it awkward. We're teammates. And—I just don't want to ruin anything.

[featherduster]

. . . I understand.

[ He can certainly sympathize with that!!!!!! ]

I'll talk to her, and won't tell her why I'm asking.

[aididitmyway]

Thank you.

It was between you and Lethe, so...

[featherduster]

. . . Lethe doesn't know a single thing about this stuff . . .

[aididitmyway]

Do you?

[featherduster]

I'm an old man, remember?

With enough time you rack up experiences, good and bad both.

[aididitmyway]

He's old, too.

I didn't know who to pick so I flipped a coin.

[featherduster]

I'll let you in on a secret.

I'm way older than he is.

[aididitmyway]

Like... how old?

[featherduster]

Really, really old.

[aididitmyway]

Like Zenith old?

[featherduster]

. . . Depends.

How old is Zenith?

[aididitmyway]

A few hundred years.

[featherduster]

[ Oh. He didn't know this.

Damn no wonder Zenith is so cranky. ]

Somethin' like that, yeah.

[aididitmyway]

So you're older than dirt like he is, got it.

[featherduster]

It feels less bad being called old for factually being old than because teenagers think mid-twenties counts as 'old.'

[aididitmyway]

There are a lot of different kinds of oldness.

Mid-twenties is old. Thirties is ancient. A hundred is probably being around when the dinosaurs lived? A few hundred is older than dirt.

[featherduster]

My god . . .

[aididitmyway]

You're probably older than god, too.

[featherduster]

Remind me again, were you asking me for a favor out of the goodness of my heart?
